This program provides food to seniors on a weekly basis. Each week, the Foodbank sets aside nutritious items from its inventory for Brown Bag recipients. Food items include nutritious staples and fresh produce, which is often prohibitively expensive for low-income elderly residents.
Volunteers, some of whom are senior food recipients themselves, arrive at the Foodbank early every Friday morning to pick up the food and take it to 12 Brown Bag sites where they pack the food in grocery bags for distribution. Recipients who are disabled or infirm can have their brown bags delivered right to their homes.
Currently, the Foodbank’s Brown Bag Program feeds 2,700 seniors throughout L.A. County.
